Faith, Film, & Philosophy, ch. 4

This chapter discusses one of my favorite movies; the Truman Show. Geivett carefully weaves epistemology into this chapter as if the writer of the film was an epistemologist himself. We see ourselves in Truman and we are rooting for him. In some deep way, we want him to be a kind of scout who conquers the unknown sea of fears that lies in all of our hearts. I appreciated most how Geivett takes the time to point out the intellectual virtues of Truman. This was different than where I expected this chapter to go, but I found it incredibly refreshing.
